• 0:18

  Speaker 1: know she's the best selling author. If you haven't read
• 0:23

• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you get a podcasts. Since she's with us right now,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Miranda Divine, how you doing? Nope, I don't hear Miranda Divine.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Are you there? Oh there? You are great to talk
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to you. Where do we start? Hey, this pipe bomber
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: who tried to blow up the RNC and the DNC.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration catches the guy. Three week investigation. It's great.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: What happened for the last five years, nothing happened. Nobody
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: didn't looked for the guy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean that is the big question. And I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: think cash Puttel and Pambondi alluded to that when they
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: said that we had no new information, just fresh eyes,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and the information seemed to be there right in front
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of them. When you look at the court documents the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: other day on Friday, when this guy, Brian Cole Junior
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: was arraigned, it shows that they got him through his
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: cell phone. It pinned seven times on that night of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: January five, twenty twenty one, around the time that the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: surveillance cameras showed this gray hooded figure wandering around planting
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: pipe bombs just half a mile from the capital. And
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it's you know, the guy is seen on his phone
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in these videos several times or the person and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: phone companies have said, yeah, there it is. And they
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: knew that back in April of twenty twenty one, at
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the latest April of twenty twenty one, the FBI had
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that information. But something strange happened to that investigation. They
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: had thirteen FBI special agents on the pipe bomb case initially,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and then they just they just deprioritized it. I think,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you know, Chris Ray ends up going before the Senate
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: on March the first and gets hammered by Democrats demanding
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to know why he hasn't arrested more grandmothers for trespassing
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: outside the capital, more Trump supporters. And you know, maybe
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it's as simple as that, but the FBI was not
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: looking for this pipe bomber because the the answer was
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: staring them in the face. And they spent a lot
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of resources doing a lot of stupid, well, I don't know, stupid,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: but you know, difficult things trying to track down, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: who bought batteries nine volt batteries, and who bought you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the cap that was end cap on the pipe bomb,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: et cetera. When they were they were rounding up the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: grandmothers from J six using cell phone data. So very strange.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And then there was the case that the the FBI
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: guy in charge of the whole investigation, the head of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the Washington FBI Field office, the guy retired now Stephen
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Duane Twono, he testified to Congress and in a closed
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: door hearing, and he said, oh, we got some some
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of this cell phone data, but it was corrupted. Maybe
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the culprit was in that cell phone data. And yet
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the cell phone companies said no, no, we didn't hand
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: over anything that was corrupted, and the FBI never complained
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that it was corrupted. So that's another little mystery.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Is it this simple that when they looked at this
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: pipe bombing case because he tried to blow up the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: RNC and the DNC, that it was pretty clear it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was not going to turn out to be a Trump supporter,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: so it didn't fit the narrative, so they just let
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it go for that reason.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, and maybe they knew that the suspect was a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: young black man at the time, he would have been
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: twenty five and probably not a MAGA supporter. Didn't fit
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: with their narrative that January six was an insurrection committed
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: by ultra MAGA white supremacist you know, Joe Biden dined
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: out on that for the next four years. They thought
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that January six was the nail in the coffin of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Trump's career prospects, and then they just to make sure,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: they decided to bang eighty one different indictments on him,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and none of it worked. And now they're in trouble
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and about to be found out, not that they really
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: care because five years have gone past almost and I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: guess they figure they're home free.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they always think they got the nail in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the coffin. They think the Epstein file that's the nail
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in the coffin, the Narco boats, that's They're always wrong
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: every time. How come they don't learn from their.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Mistakes because they actually get benefit from them. Oh, because
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they don't destroy him, but they certainly knock off a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: bit of support. You know, suddenly people start grumbling. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: White House needs to turn its attention to refusing the lies.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's just it's all about tying him down. I always
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: think of Donald Trump as like you know, Gulliver and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Gullibu's troubles and he's got all the little midgets just
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: tying him down, and he was great. He always breaks
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: free or or he's like the bull in the ring
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and the little guys come out become of what they're called.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But they throw the darts at him and the spears
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and just weaken him up before the matador. And of
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: course the matador is an old, broken down hack, which
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was Joe Biden. But by that stage their damage had
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: been done. You know, they do inflict Don Trump, which
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: stands a lot, but he does get batter than bruised
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: because he's human. And this is what they do when
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it works for them, and they're just playing the same
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: old playbook with a few different characters.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Huh, that's interesting. Now, whatever you have mad at Trump
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for the blowing up the Narco boats, whatever it is,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Biden Obama did exactly the same thing with drone strikes. Whatever,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: whatever you're pointing to, you can point to the Biden
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: did it, Obama did it. How Come that doesn't register
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with the MSNBC viewers.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, because they just call it what about ism? And
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they just because on the outrage in front of them. Yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it's an old, worn playbook. And luckily ms NOW as
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: they call themselves, just have you know, dwindling the audience
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and dwindling influence, and the same with CNN. So I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: mean there's fewer people that they can propagandaze. I thought
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: it was rather disturbing in that FBI report I wrote
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: about last week from a group of sort of whistleblower
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: type people. They said that every every television in the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: different field offices at the FBI is tuned into ms
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: NOW and CNN, but never Fox, and so they've got
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: that sturdy drone It is. It is like propaganda. It's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: like radio Rwanda before the Civil War. You know, you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: just keep on the drum beat the other side. They're evil,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they're doing bad things. Donald Trump's a monster. And you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you get that pumped into your head twenty four to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: seven or every minute that you're at work, and then
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you go home and do the same thing. It has
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to have an effect.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, the story was the good men and women
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in the FBI. It was just the bad left wing
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: cooks on the ninth floor there with call me. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: now we're hearing there were a lot of left wing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: cooks in the ranks put there by Muller and called
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: me through the years. I think you reported that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, And you know it's because it was a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: deliberate decision by Muller. I'm not sure he particularly wanted lefties,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: but he certainly wanted university educated agents, and so they
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: he really revolutionized the ranks. And when you bring in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: people from the universities who've done soft social sciences, inevitably
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to be propagandized lefties. And that changed the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: tenor i'm told from some old hands of the fort
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the Bureau. And then of course Comey was a bad
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: guy and they started to prioritize high So of all
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the professions, of all the university educated professions, who are
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the most left wing, Well, you'd have social workers and teachers,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and they prioritized teachers. So there you have it, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: teachers have got the added disadvantage. There are great teachers.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I Am never going to take that away from them.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: But they would know themselves, and they tell me themselves
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: that they are surrounded by lefties who are also very
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: arrogant because they're used to having classrooms of children who
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they can command, and so they waltzed into the FBI
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like they owned the place.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Well, Miranda Devine, great work as always. Now you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do Pod Force one, you should listen to a podcast
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Pod Force one. Who's on the next episode.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Well on Wednesday with talking to Hami Dylan, who was
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: just an attorney general who's in charge of the Civil
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Rights Division at the DOJ, and she is amazing talk
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: about she would be one of the best warriors in
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the administration for the good things. She's against big tech,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: censorship and all sorts of government over each she's waded
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in where others fear to tread. And she's also voter integrity.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: That's one of her big things, and I think she's
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: going to do a lot of good. There are a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: lot of states are resisting her demands that they hand
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: over their voter rolls to make sure that they're clean.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: But knowing her, she'll make sure she gets it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: All done before Wednesday. You know what. Go listen to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the past episodes of Podforce one with President Trump with
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a Scott Besson's.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Great her latest one's Ron Johnson. Interesting on quite a
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: few on Russia Gate and interestingly on He's got to
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: be in his about Tower seven at the World Trade Center,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: so which is interesting because it did blow up in
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a weird way and we do know that there were
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: CIA and FBI floors, there was lots of files.
